He worked there for ten years, starting in 1994 on Full Throttle and ultimately as a lead animator on the cancelled Sam & Max: Freelance Police.[3][4] In addition, Annable has done illustration and cartoon work for (among others) Chuck Jones, Nickelodeon, and Walt Disney Productions.[2] Annable was employed as creative director at Telltale Games during their first year, and has continued working closely with them, later designing Puzzle Agent, amongst other titles.[2][3]
He moved to Portland to work as a story artist on Coraline.[2] He co-directed Laika's 3D stop-motion/CGI animated feature film The Boxtrolls (2014)[5] which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.
